Cuties Clementines are known for their sweet flavor, kid-friendly size and ability to peel easily making them a snack favorite for children and parents alike. Starting this month, everyone from California to New York can celebrate winter's finest fruit. In a season filled with junk food and sweets, these compact fruits make an appearance just in time. Cuties are packed with nutrients like calcium, vitamin C and fiber.

Cuties give back

Cuties has released an interactive website where parents can upload all things cute for a chance to win everything from T-shirts to the grand prize of a $150,000 scholarship for their little cuties. As if that wasn't enough, the sweet snack is partnering with DonorsChoose.org, an organization that helps to fund classroom projects and fulfill unmet needs in schools. For every video uploaded, parents will receive a $10 gift card to DonorsChoose.org to support the classroom project of their choice. Showing off your kids now has an altruistic side to it and could lead to a $5,000 prize that will be donated to schools in need.
